Anonymous Posters and Credibility

[ehm]

Am I alone here? This is obviously not meant to be taken personally, I mean, how could it? The Anonymous poster is an unidentified voice. I believe this gives them less credibility. I'm not suggesting in anyway banning Anonymous posts/posters. I'm simply speaking out in hopes that more will come forward and not choose to hide. After all, what impact does a nameless voice really  have? One needs identity to be heard. Only then can they truly be taken seriously in my opinion. I'm in no way wanting to stir things up, just bringing to light a topic that I know has been discussed before, but I'm doing it again. Thank you for reading, please drive through.

Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic
for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has
happened once in 6000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to
the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail,
there will be anarchy throughout the world.

I am hoping for anarchy throughout the world.
Watch out for those anonymous posters. They are secret spies for the World dictator, George W.  :scared:

hmmm I always like to get to know someone even if it is just with a screen name, but if it takes anonymous posting to get them to post then that is fine by me

as for trust not my strong point anyway so definately not if you cannot identify yourself for future meetings

just my opinion

Real ninjas would never post anonymously. That's for pussies. Ninjas are cool; and by cool, I mean totally sweet. The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people. Ninjas can kill anyone they want!  Ninjas cut off heads ALL the time and don't even think twice about it. Ninjas are sooooooooooo sweet that I want to crap my pants. These guys are totally awesome and that's a fact. Ninjas are fast, smooth, cool, strong, powerful, and sweet.  :grin:

If once [the people] become inattentive to the public affairs,
you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors,
shall all become wolves.  It seems to be the law of our general
nature, in spite of individual exceptions.
